"Jane Addams has been an exceptional school for my 2 kids - 4th and 6th grades - for their entire elementary school years so far. The teachers are outstanding and completely willing and eager to engage with me as a parent. We have yet to have anything but high caliber teacher for either child. It may be that since I keep in contact with my kids' teachers on concerns, progress, etc, that they are more enthusiastic to work with me. But whatever it is, they have been absolutely wonderful. They have often reached out to me to let me know good things my kids have accomplished. And they've done the same when they have areas of concern, and offer ideas on how both they and I can help the kids more. The principal and staff also are exceptional. They completely focus on and care about these kids. They are consistent and driven to make these kids a success, yet compassionate and flexible. I'm genuinely happy to have my kids at this school."

"Our son goes to Jane Addams and my husband and I are very happy with his progress. He has been at Jane Addams k-4 and each teacher has challenged and encouraged him in each and every grade. The teachers we have had the pleasure of working with have always been very responsive and open. The whole staff at Jane Addams are great. We are very proud that our son goes to Jane Addams."

"teacher refuses to acknowledge my pta slip wont talk to me only calls my husband i have placed notes,slips and homework certain ways in my sons backpack and they are still that way when he gets home meaning the teacher mrs biro isn't taking them or even looking at them . she addresses letters sent home only to my husband we do not have the same last name even though we are married (for personal reasons) how disrespectful and discriminatory is that?I'm pulling my son out of this 2 hr a day kindergarten class as soon as i can."

"This is a great school in terms of organization and quality teaching. My experience with special education was great and everything was in order and on time, the teachers and the staff, including the director participated in the meetings and the planning. A few extracurricular actvities around the year, but students learn how to use the computer, and the reading program helps a lot to increase reading understanding."

"Jane Addams is one of the smaller schools in District 15. It also has a very diverse population. My experience has been with K-3rd gradeand most has been positive. Teachers are great with feedback. They have been available by phone or email. I have worked in the library and computer lab. The library is top notch and continues to evolve for the children. But the computer system is old and out of date. Music is taught by an outstanding teacher. The children are taught to play the recorder in third grade. Musical instuments are introduced in 5th. Art has been reduced drastically due to budget cuts. Sports is concentrated during gym class, there is hardly any after school except for 6th graders. There is a small but strong group of parent volunteers. But the parents do come out in force for school events."
